Student performance (as assessed via overall grades) has remained stable throughthe introduction of this project. Work is ongoing to determine the impact of this course moreprecisely, and to determine the best sequence of lecture content to complement the project.[1] Sheppard, S. D. and Jenison, R.

engagementstrategies shows a high value associated with the Muddiest Point intervention.5 Further, thiswork highlights high student value of the Muddiest Point exercise in classes with varyingformats (flipped versus traditional, 1-credit vs. 3- or 4-credit, courses with more traditionallength lectures versus courses with mini-lectures, and courses of varying subject matter). Theseresults suggest that the Muddiest Point exercise is an effective reflective tool for frequent,formative feedback in any classroom.AcknowledgementsThe authors acknowledge the support of this work from NSF Grant #1226325.1.

Documentation Time, and 5 to 11 hours in TTO Time).As can be seen in Figure 2, 2015’s Group 1 and 2015’s Group 5 had relatively little clinical timewhereas 2015’s Group 2 and 2015’s Group 4 spent nearly half or equal time in the clinic ascompared to the OR. This is due to the OR-heavy areas that were shadowed by 2014’s Groups 1and 5 as compared to the clinic-heavy areas shadowed by 2015’s Groups 2 and 4. These hoursare also highly dependent on flexibility of clinician and availability of the clinical schedule forthe students- some clinician’s staff have confirmed schedules weeks in advance whereas othersmust operate on a more spontaneous schedule that does not allow the DeFINE students, who livebetween 0.5-1 hours from the clinical site, to always

Hands-on workshops inelectronics and CAD software were performed to enhance student’s prototyping skills and/oraddress deficiencies among students without an engineering background. Lastly, significant timewas made available for hands-on prototyping and proof of concept testing in the laboratory.Topic (s) BEFORE DURING AFTERNeeds Finding Videos Active Learning Team Project:Problem Definition and Need Update DHF,Statement

cards. The program sent all thecards together in a package ahead of the riders, so they would receive them when they stoppedfor lodging.Social media interactions between BME CUReS REU participants and current Texas 4000 ridersThe Texas 4000 students on the bike ride post photos and notes to the Texas 4000’s websitethrough a social media aggregator. Similarly, the BME CUReS REU participants post to theREU program’s website through a blog with photos and commentary. Blog post content variesfrom reflections on research and the impact of cancer, to letters to the Texas 4000 student riders,to fun photos from local social trips. The program shares this blog and relevant postings with theTexas 4000 throughout the 10 weeks.Adoption of Texas 4000
